Phosphorescent acyclic cucurbituril solid supramolecular multicolour delayed fluorescence behaviour.

Organic photoluminescent macrocyclic hosts have been widely advanced in many fields. Phosphorescent hosts with the ability to bind organic guests have rarely been reported. Herein, acyclic cucurbituril modified with four carboxylic acids (ACB-COOH) is mined to present uncommon purely organic room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) at 510 nm with a lifetime of 1.

Generation of Tunable Ultrastrong White-Light Emission by Activation of a Solid Supramolecule through Bromonaphthylpyridinium Polymerization.

Herein, we reported solid supramolecular bromonaphthylpyridinium polymers (P-BrNp), which exhibit tunable phosphorescence emission in the amorphous state enabled by sulfobutylether-β-cyclodextrin (SBE-β-CD) and diarylethene derivatives. The monomer BrNp gave single fluorescence emission at 490 nm, while an apparent room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) at 550 nm emerged for P-BrNp copolymers with various feed ratios. Through fluorescence-phosphorescence dual emission, P-BrNp-0.

Noncovalent Polymerization-Activated Ultrastrong Near-Infrared Room-Temperature Phosphorescence Energy Transfer Assembly in Aqueous Solution.

Noncovalent macrocycle-confined supramolecular purely organic room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) is a current research hotspot. Herein, a high-efficiency noncovalent polymerization-activated near-infrared (NIR)-emissive RTP-harvesting system in aqueous solution based on the stepwise confinement of cucurbit[7]uril (CB[7]) and β-cyclodextrin-grafted hyaluronic acid (HACD), is reported. Compared with the dodecyl-chain-bridged 6-bromoisoquinoline derivative (G), the dumbbell-shaped assembly G⊂CB[7] presents an appeared complexation-induced RTP signal at 540 nm via the first confinement of CB[7].

A Highly Efficient Phosphorescence/Fluorescence Supramolecular Switch Based on a Bromoisoquinoline Cascaded Assembly in Aqueous Solution.

Despite ongoing research into photocontrolled supramolecular switches, reversible photoswitching between room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) and delayed fluorescence is rare in the aqueous phase. Herein, an efficient RTP-fluorescence switch based on a cascaded supramolecular assembly is reported, which is constructed using a 6-bromoisoquinoline derivative (G ), cucurbit[7]uril (CB[7]), sulfonatocalix[4]arene (SC4A4), and a photochromic spiropyran (SP) derivative. Benefiting from the confinement effect of CB[7], initial complexation with CB[7] arouses an emerging RTP signal at 540 nm for G .
